It’s disheartening to see that our trains, started by the British over 150 years ago, still haven't seen significant upgrades. Leaders have come and gone, but modernization remains ignored. It makes sense what JVP is saying: we no longer need a minister, a deputy minister, and their family clans as secretaries in this sector anymore. It's time to copy the models of Singapore, Malaysia, or even recent Indian examples and upgrade now!

What is disheartening to note is that we had not any Rampalas after 1970.

This is why we should hand over our railways to Indian railways.

It won't happen. India is busy buiding bullet train in western side, in next 5 years extending to North, South and East.
